Srp Backfills

[snow canopy]

Srp is a really great map as is,however there’s something’s that could be done to make it incredible,for example backfills,I’ll only be talking about currently ingame animals that could be added.
•Shiras Moose (More great ones
•Whitetail Deer (Would bring more much needed great ones,and more familiar game)
•Red Fox (Potential Great one)
•Coyote (Rework+Potential Great Ones)

There is no waterfowl as Srp isn’t really built for waterfowl,that is shown by the lack of overflows,small weedy ponds,bodies of water general.
•Ring-Necked Pheasant

Potentially Controversial Species
•Canada Goose (too loud,perfect way too introduce an audio slider/sound rework for geese)

I'd agree with the predator inclusions but I cannot agree with the inclusion of White-tails at all on the grounds that they can be hunted on multiple reserves already and I'd only agree to the Shiras Moose if they split the Moose into their respective subspecies for all the maps they exist on (Which means we would end up with Shiras, Eastern, Yukon, Yakutian and European Moose)

[snow canopy]

I feel like Srp is missing something that reminds the players of their first time on the game,a species that they can reliably go back to,hence the inclusion of whitetail,It just feels empty without them.Plus another great one species for the content creators,EW seems to be interested in adding another deer species to the map due to the Blacktail incident,might as well add a popular species.

[snow canopy]

I’d certainly prefer if they split the moose subspecies up instead of a sweeping generalization.

It also give them the opportunity to compete with Way of The hunter as they have all of the Rocky Mountain Classics on one map.

I really don't think SRP needs backfilling, the map is very good and one of the most popular.
They did a good job redistributing existing herds, reducing and moving populations again would ruin it.

However, if they added a Swift Fox or Badger there would be no problem.

[snow canopy]

It just feels wrong not having two of the most popular game animals of the Rocky Mountains on srp.

[snow canopy]

Reading back on this,they didn’t do very good,Black Bear and Mtn Lions are the first that come to mind.

[knotty carbon]

In terms of grinding no, but in general terms it is more realistic than the current way since they are everywhere and you can find them all over the map except in the upper central area.
Previously it was a waste not to have animals in the forests or areas far from the lakes.

[snow canopy]

There’s far better ways to do it,while also maintaining realism.

I would love some whitetails timing the forest SRP also has a big lack of small game I suppose to add

• ptarmigan in the mountains
  -gambels quail in the valleys
• spruce, blue and ruffed grouse on the mountains and in the eastern forests
• sharp tailed grouse in the starter plains
• pheasant and bob white all over the lower elevations

For waterfowl I suppose may be species like American wigeon, bufflehead and ring wood duck all on the big lake and sorounding areas
Also Canada and snow goose would be neat.

[snow canopy]

This concept is only about existing species,There’s simply not enough water for waterfowl as stated above.

[gritty steeple]

Still bobwhite pheasant and ptarmigan also the lower area has a giant lake and a lot of other lakes. For teal and mallards to roam

[eternal dome]

Canada goose are a very good suggestion. I live in a built up city urban area and there are hundreds of Canada geese spread out in our small parks and ponds. If they can settle here and breed out of control then SRP is going to be paradise for the little honkers.
I'm not keen or fussed about the Whitetails either way.

[eternal dome]

I have to disagree with you Ayoliam. As I mentioned before, I live in the city and we have several waterfowl species (mallards, tufted ducks...) in our parks and ponds. I wouldn't know which ones are appropriate for SRP but I wouldn't dismiss waterfowl in general too quickly.

[gritty steeple]

Where do you live

[eternal dome]

London

[gritty steeple]

Ah makes sense, the fowl I listed are common species through out America including Colorado

[snow canopy]

You have a massive river running through the middle of your city….

[eternal dome]

Yes, I don't know the waterfowl there. But I think the principle is the same.

[gritty steeple]

They are to massive lakes visible outside of the map

[eternal dome]

Nothing to do with that river. The only birds I see on the Thames are cormorants and gulls. The outer city urban parks are teaming with bird wildlife though.

[gritty steeple]

Many ducks don't like rivers, but they love puddles and lakes

[snow canopy]

Srp just isn’t built for ducks,it was made before a time when ew realized it’s possible to have more than one species of waterfowl on one map.there is no over grown ponds,zero overflows,zero medium sized ponds,puddles,rivers,creeks,rivers.

[gritty steeple]

I disagree heavily I'm very sure the map especially the southern lake front would be able to hold waterfowl

[eternal dome]

I hear what you're saying but I'm just not convinced. But you know me, I want waterfowl on every map. So I'm biased. Lol

[gritty steeple]

I would say that every map but Medved could hold waterfowl easily

[eternal dome]

I'll make Medved work. Watch me. PMSL

[gritty steeple]

Pmsl? I also think that Medved would be possible just harder and more unlikely.

[eternal dome]

i.e LOL

I'm campaigning for every map

[gritty steeple]

What species would you think off?

[snow canopy]

I love waterfowl,I’d love more waterfowl,just not srp,which is far better designed for ground birds.

[gritty steeple]

I agree I would like too see both but SRP is perfect for grouse, quail, dove and co

[eternal dome]

I've left that to the experts to debate here. #1181406242325938266 message

[eternal dome]

Which ground birds do you think would work?

[snow canopy]

White-Tailed Ptarmigan,Sage Grouse,Greater Prairie Chicken to name a few.

[eternal dome]

Some ground birds would be very cool

[gritty steeple]

And please 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 please gambels and bobwhite quail
